A Bill or Amendment shall not be introduced into except the Legislative Assembly of the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir without the recommendation of the …………… .

President
Lieutenant Governor
Chief Minister
Prime Minister

The correct answer is: B. Lieutenant Governor.

The Lieutenant Governor is the head of the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir. He is appointed by the President of India and holds office during the pleasure of the President. The Lieutenant Governor has the power to make laws for the Union Territory, subject to the approval of the President. He also has the power to suspend or dissolve the Legislative Assembly of the Union Territory.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • The President is the head of state of India. He is elected by an electoral college consisting of members of both Houses of Parliament and the legislative assemblies of the states. The President has the power to appoint the Prime Minister and other members of the Union Council of Ministers. He also has the power to dissolve the Lok Sabha (the lower house of Parliament) and to declare an emergency.
  • The Prime Minister is the head of government of India. He is appointed by the President and holds office during the pleasure of the President. The Prime Minister is the leader of the party or coalition of parties that has a majority in the Lok Sabha. He is responsible for the day-to-day running of the government.
  • The Chief Minister is the head of government of a state in India. He is appointed by the Governor of the state and holds office during the pleasure of the Governor. The Chief Minister is the leader of the party or coalition of parties that has a majority in the Legislative Assembly of the state. He is responsible for the day-to-day running of the government of the state.
  • The Prime Minister is not the head of the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir. The Lieutenant Governor is the head of the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir.
